Broncos | Denver a possible destination for Alec Pierce? Mon Jan 26, 12:59 AM
Indianapolis Colts WR Alec Pierce will be a free agent this offseason, and ESPN's Aaron Schatz believes the Denver Broncos will be the ones to sign him, citing Pierce's size, physicality, and ability to make plays down the field making him an ideal fit for QB Bo Nix and head coach Sean Payton.

Denver Broncos QB Jarrett Stidham went 17-for-31 for 133 yards, one touchdown and one interception against the New England Patriots in the AFC Championship game. Stidham also rushed for 23 yards on four carries but did lose a fumble. RB RJ Harvey rushed for 37 yards on 13 carries and also caught four passes for 22 yards on six targets. RB Jaleel McLaughlin rushed for 11 yards on four carries and caught one pass for two yards on two targets. WR Marvin Mims caught four passes for 62 yards on six targets. TE Evan Engram caught two passes for 19 yards on three targets, WR Courtland Sutton caught three passes for 17 yards and one touchdown on five targets, WR Lil'Jordan Humphrey caught one pass for five yards on three targets and WR Pat Bryant (hamstring) caught one pass for two yards on one target before leaving because of a hamstring injury. LB Alex Singleton recorded four solo tackles and 12 total tackles during the game, while DT D.J. Jones recorded two solo tackles, six total tackles and one and a half sacks.
| Footballguys view: Stidham completed a 52-yard bomb to Marvin Mims on the game's opening drive and finished the drive with a touchdown pass to Courtland Sutton, but had only one good drive for the rest of the game. That drive ended with a failed fourth and one play inside the Patriots 20, and Wil Lutz missed a 54-yard field goal near the end of the first half and a 46-yard attempt to tie the game was blocked by Leonard Taylor III. Denver's offense just needed to be a little bit better, but their defense was championship quality. |

Link to story Broncos | Good news for Bo Nix Sun Jan 25, 11:00 AM
Updating previous reports, Denver Broncos QB Bo Nix's (ankle) successful surgery last week revealed that he had limited ligament damage and no joint surface damage to his broken right ankle, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
Link to story Broncos | Bo Nix to be sidelined 12 weeks Sun Jan 25, 09:57 AM
Denver Broncos QB Bo Nix (ankle) is expected to be sidelined for 12 weeks after undergoing surgery last week to repair a broken right ankle, according to multiple sources. He is not supposed to put any weight on the ankle for at least four weeks. It is believed that Nix will have largely recovered in time to participate in the Broncos' offseason program.
| Footballguys view: Ian Rapoport of NFL.com also reported that there was limited ligament damage and no joint surface damage. That was revealed during the surgery, so the Broncos got good news about their starting quarterback and his ability to get work in during the offseason. Unfortunately, their offseason started one game earlier than they were aiming for after they lost an ugly 10-7 AFC title game to the Patriots. |

Broncos | Pat Bryant on track to play Fri Jan 23, 06:22 PM
Denver Broncos WR Pat Bryant (concussion) fully participated in practice Friday, Jan. 23, and is not on the injury report for the AFC Championship game.
| Footballguys view: Despite leaving last week's game early with a concussion, Bryant was able to clear the necessary steps to advance through concussion protocol. The rookie has been a reliable option since the midway point of the season, but expectations for the entire offense should be tempered without Bo Nix. |
Broncos | Questionable tag for Troy Franklin Fri Jan 23, 06:16 PM
Denver Broncos WR Troy Franklin (hamstring) was limited during practice Friday, Jan. 23, and is listed as questionable for the AFC Championship game.
| Footballguys view: Franklin left last week's game early with this hamstring injury. Limited practices are better than no practice at all, but we probably won't get information on his availability until close to Sunday's kickoff. |
Broncos | J.K. Dobbins will not be available Fri Jan 23, 06:08 PM
Denver Broncos RB J.K. Dobbins (foot) was limited during practice Friday, Jan. 23, but has been ruled out of the AFC Championship game.
| Footballguys view: Despite a return to practice this week, Dobbins isn't quite ready to return. If the Broncos beat the Patriots, Dobbins will get an extra week of rest leading up to the Super Bowl, potentially giving him time to return. In this game, expect the run game to flow through RJ Harvey. |

Broncos | Bo Nix ruled out Fri Jan 23, 06:01 PM
Denver Broncos QB Bo Nix (ankle) did not participate in practice Friday, Jan. 23, and has been ruled out of the AFC Championship game.
| Footballguys view: After undergoing ankle surgery, Nix is done for the year. Even if the Broncos pull out this win, Jaret Stidham or another quarterback would start in the Super Bowl. Nix is eying a return at the start of the 2026 season. Stidham will start in his absence. |

Denver Broncos WR Pat Bryant (concussion) fully participated in practice Thursday, Jan. 22.
| Footballguys view: Good news for the Broncos here. Bryant was going to be a big part of their plan against the Bills but was concussed for the second time in about a month. He's been seen wearing a guardian cap in practice, and Bryant could wear one in the game to keep him better protected. |
Broncos | Troy Franklin limited again Thu Jan 22, 05:39 PM
Denver Broncos WR Troy Franklin (hamstring) was limited during practice Thursday, Jan. 22.
| Footballguys view: It's not a guarantee Franklin plays on Sunday. Speedy receivers can be bothered more than others by hamstring injuries. Let's see what his status is like on Friday. |
Broncos | J.K. Dobbins listed as limited Thu Jan 22, 05:38 PM
Denver Broncos RB J.K. Dobbins (foot) was limited during practice Thursday, Jan. 22.
| Footballguys view: Dobbins is trying to come back for the AFC Championship. When he initially injured his foot, reports indicated he could return for the Super Bowl. Dobbins is positive about his status, but the team will make that decision later in the week. |

Broncos | Limited practice for Troy Franklin Wed Jan 21, 06:33 PM
Denver Broncos WR Troy Franklin (hamstring) was limited during practice Wednesday, Jan. 21.
| Footballguys view: Franklin was out there, but a hamstring injury can really slow down a speedy receiver. Likely without Pat Bryant (concussion), it would help if Franklin can be ready for Sunday's AFC Championship against the Patriots. |
Broncos | J.K. Dobbins a limited participant Wed Jan 21, 06:30 PM
Denver Broncos RB J.K. Dobbins (foot) was limited during practice Wednesday, Jan. 21.

Denver Broncos LB Drew Sanders (ankle) has returned to practice, and head coach Sean Payton said Monday, Jan. 19, that the team still hopes to get Sanders back later in the year. 'It won't be soon,' Payton said. With just the AFC Championship Game against the New England Patriots, and the Super Bowl remaining, time is ticking.

Broncos | J.K. Dobbins returning to practice Mon Jan 19, 02:45 PM
Denver Broncos RB J.K. Dobbins (foot) will have his 21-day practice window opened this week and has a chance to be available for the AFC Championship game, according to sources.
| Footballguys view: The Broncos have struggled to move the ball consistently on the ground ever since Dobbins went down with a Lisfranc sprain in Week 10. Now, with Bo Nix out due to injury, Jarrett Stidham will be making his first start since the finale of the 2023 season. Having a run game to lean on will make life easier for him. But Dobbins needs to be activated off the injured reserve first. There is no guarantee that he will be ready for Sunday. We'll continue monitoring. |

Broncos | Coach confident in Jarret Stidham Sun Jan 18, 08:18 PM
Denver Broncos QB Jarrett Stidham will be 'ready to go' for the AFC Championship Game, according to head coach Sean Payton. 'But one of Stiddy's strengths is his mental aptitude and his progressions and understanding plays,' Payton said. 'He's very accurate. He's a got a lot to his ball.'
| Footballguys view: Stidham is a seventh-year veteran backup but made just one appearance in the 2025 season, logging four snaps in Denver's Week 8 win over Dallas. He hasn't seen extended action since 2023, when he started the final two games of the season in place of the shelved Russell Wilson. As NFL.com notes, the Broncos boast a top-tier defense, but injured starter Bo Nix is the engine that makes their offense go. Nonetheless, Payton said he knows his team will respond with a Super Bowl berth on the line next week. "Stiddy's ready, and we'll be ready for the next challenge." |

Broncos | Surgery for Bo Nix Sat Jan 17, 09:28 PM
Updating a previous report, Denver Broncos QB Bo Nix (ankle) is scheduled to undergo surgery to repair a fractured bone in his right ankle on Tuesday, Jan. 20, according to head coach Sean Payton.
| Footballguys view: We'll watch the timeline for his recovery, but it's not expected that this would endanger him being ready for training camp. Nix played well enough to earn a chance to make the Super Bowl with one more win, but won't get the opportunity to play for that berth. We should be confident in his ability to rise to the occasion in the postseason going forward. |

Denver Broncos QB Bo Nix completed 26 of his 46 passes for 279 yards, three touchdowns and an interception in a 33-30 overtime win over the Buffalo Bills in the Divisional Round. He also rushed 12 times for a team-high 29 yards. RB RJ Harvey finished with 20 rushing yards on six carries and caught five passes for 46 yards, and RB Jaleel McLaughlin gained 21 yards on four carries. WR Marvin Mims caught a touchdown while leading the team with both eight receptions and 93 receiving yards. WR Courtland Sutton finished with 53 yards on four receptions, and WR Lil'Jordan Humphrey caught two passes for 33 yards and a score. WR Pat Bryant (concussion) had three receptions for 32 yards before exiting the game, and TE Evan Engram caught one pass for seven yards. OT Frank Crum chipped in a seven-yard touchdown catch. On the defensive side of the ball, LB Alex Singleton led the way with a team-high 14 tackles, including 11 solo stops. S Talanoa Hufanga had 10 tackles, including seven solo stops, and forced a fumble. S P.J. Locke had nine tackles and an interception, and DE Malcolm Roach had five tackles, 1.5 sacks and three quarterback hits.
| Footballguys view: Nix made big throws in the first half and then late in the fourth quarter, but Josh Allen was able to overcome three turnovers in regulation to send the game to overtime. Nix led the team to a game-winning field goal after Allen's fourth turnover in overtime, but broke his ankle on the next to last play of the drive and will not be able to play in the AFC Championship game. Jarrett Stidham will start in the biggest game of his life as the Broncos will look to shock the football world by winning with their unheralded backup quarterback. |
